Sometime during the nineteenth century, dog fanciers
in England, Ireland, and Scotland began to
experiment with crosses between Bulldogs and
Terriers, looking for a dog that combined the
gameness of the terrier with the strength and
athleticism of the Bulldog. The result was a dog
that embodied all of the virtues attributed to great
warriors: strength, indomitable courage, and
gentleness with loved ones. Immigrants brought these
bull and terrier crosses to the United States. The
American Pit Bull Terrier's many talents did not go
unnoticed by farmers and ranchers who used their
APBTs for protection, as catch dogs for semi-wild
cattle and hogs, to hunt, to drive livestock, and as
family companions. Today, the American Pit Bull
Terrier continues to demonstrate its versatility,
competing successfully in Obedience, Tracking,
Agility, Protection, and Weight Pulls, as well as
Conformation.
The United Kennel Club was the first registry to
recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier. U.K.C.
founder C. Z. Bennett assigned U.K.C. registration
number 1 to his own APBT, Bennett's Ring in 1898.
General Appearance
The
American Pit Bull Terrier is a medium-sized, solidly
built, short-coated dog with smooth, well-defined
musculature. This breed is both powerful and
athletic. The body is just slightly longer than
tall, but bitches may be somewhat longer in body
than dogs. The length of the front leg (measured
from point of elbow to the ground) is approximately
equal to one-half of the dog's height at the
withers. The head is of medium length, with a broad,
flat skull, and a wide, deep muzzle. Ears are small
to medium in size, high set, and may be natural or
cropped. The relatively short tail is set low, thick
at the base and tapers to a point. The American Pit
Bull Terrier comes in all colors and color patterns.
This breed combines strength and athleticism with
grace and agility and should never appear bulky or
muscle-bound or fine-boned and rangy.
Characteristics
The
essential characteristics of the American Pit Bull
Terrier are strength, confidence, and zest for life.
This breed is eager to please and brimming over with
enthusiasm. APBTs make excellent family companions
and have always been noted for their love of
children. Because most APBTs exhibit some level of
dog aggression and because of its powerful physique,
the APBT requires an owner who will carefully
socialize and obedience train the dog. The breed's
natural agility makes it one of the most capable
canine climbers so good fencing is a must for this
breed. The APBT is not the best choice for a guard
dog since they are extremely friendly, even with
strangers. Aggressive behavior toward humans is
uncharacteristic of the breed and highly
undesirable. This breed does very well in
performance events because of its high level of
intelligence and its willingness to work. The
American Pit Bull Terrier has always been capable of
doing a wide variety of jobs so exaggerations or
faults should be penalized in proportion to how much
they interfere with the dog's versatility.
Head
The
APBT head is unique and a key element of breed type.
It is large and broad, giving the impression of
great power, but it is not disproportionate to the
size of the body. Viewed from the front, the head is
shaped like a broad, blunt wedge. When viewed from
the side, the skull and muzzle are parallel to one
another and joined by a well defined, moderately
deep stop. Supraorbital arches over the eyes are
well defined but not pronounced. The head is well
chiseled, blending strength, elegance, and
character.
SKULL - The skull is large, flat or slightly
rounded, deep, and broad between the ears. Viewed
from the top, the skull tapers just slightly toward
the stop. There is a deep median furrow that
diminishes in depth from the stop to the occiput.
Cheek muscles are prominent but free of wrinkles.
When the dog is concentrating, wrinkles form on the
forehead, which give the APBT his unique expression.
MUZZLE - The muzzle is broad and deep with a very
slight taper from the stop to the nose, and a slight
falling away under the eyes. The length of muzzle is
shorter than the length of skull, with a ratio of
approximately 2:3. The topline of the muzzle is
straight. The lower jaw is well developed, wide and
deep. Lips are clean and tight.
Faults:
Snipey muzzle; flews; weak lower jaw.
TEETH - The American Pit Bull Terrier has a complete
set of evenly spaced, white teeth meeting in a
scissors bite.
Fault:
Level bite.
Serious Faults:
Undershot, or overshot bite; wry mouth; missing
teeth (this does not apply to teeth that have been
lost or removed by a veterinarian).
NOSE - The nose is large with wide, open nostrils.
The nose may be any color.
EYES - Eyes are medium size, round to almond-shaped,
and set well apart and low on the skull. All colors
are equally acceptable except blue, which is a
serious fault. Haw should not be visible.
Serious Faults:
Bulging eyes; both eyes not matched in color; blue
eyes.
EARS - Ears are high set and may be natural or
cropped without preference. If natural, semi-prick
or rose are preferred. Prick or flat, wide ears are
not desired.
Neck
The
neck is of moderate length and muscular. There is a
slight arch at the crest. The neck widens gradually
from where it joins the skull to where it blends
into well laid-back shoulders. The skin on the neck
is tight and without dewlap.
Faults:
Neck too short and thick; thin or weak neck; ewe
neck; dewlap.
Forequarters
The
shoulder blades are long, wide, muscular, and well
laid back. The upper arm is roughly equal in length
to the shoulder blade and joins it at an apparent
right angle.
The
forelegs are strong and muscular. The elbows are set
close to the body. Viewed from the front, the
forelegs are set moderately wide apart and
perpendicular to the ground. The pasterns are short,
powerful, straight, and flexible. When viewed in
profile, the pasterns are nearly erect.
Faults:
Upright or loaded shoulders; elbows turned outward
or tied-in; down at the pasterns; front legs bowed;
wrists knuckled over; toeing in or out.
Body
The
chest is deep, well filled in, and moderately wide
with ample room for heart and lungs, but the chest
should never be wider than it is deep. The forechest
does not extend much beyond the point of shoulder.
The ribs extend well back and are well sprung from
the spine, then flattening to form a deep body
extending to the elbows. The back is strong and
firm. The topline inclines very slightly downward
from the withers to a broad, muscular, level back.
The loin is short, muscular and slightly arched to
the top of the croup, but narrower than the rib cage
and with a moderate tuck-up. The croup is slightly
sloping downward.
Hindquarters
The
hindquarters are strong, muscular, and moderately
broad. The rump is well filled in on each side of
the tail and deep from the pelvis to the crotch. The
bone, angulation, and musculature of the
hindquarters are in balance with the forequarters.
The thighs are well developed with thick, easily
discerned muscles. Viewed from the side, the hock
joint is well bent and the rear pasterns are well
let down and perpendicular to the ground. Viewed
from the rear, the rear pasterns are straight and
parallel to one another.
Faults:
Narrow hindquarters; hindquarters shallow from
pelvis to crotch; lack of muscle; straight or over
angulated stifle joint; cow hocks; sickle hocks;
bowed legs.
Feet
The
feet are round, proportionate to the size of the
dog, well arched, and tight. Pads are hard, tough,
and well cushioned. Dewclaws may be removed.
Fault:
Splayed feet.
Tail
The
tail is set on as a natural extension of the topline,
and tapers to a point. When the dog is relaxed, the
tail is carried low and extends approximately to the
hock. When the dog is moving, the tail is carried
level with the backline. When the dog is excited,
the tail may be carried in a raised, upright
position (challenge tail), but never curled over the
back (gay tail).
Fault:
Long tail (tail tip passes beyond point of hock).
Serious faults:
Gay tail (not to be confused with challenge tail);
kinked tail.
Disqualification:
Bobbed tail.
Coat
The
coat is glossy and smooth, close, and moderately
stiff to the touch.
Faults:
Curly, wavy, or sparse coat.
Disqualification:
Long coat.
Color
Any
color, color pattern, or combination of colors is
acceptable, except for merle. Disqualification: Merle
Height and Weight
The
American Pit Bull Terrier must be both powerful and
agile so actual weight and height are less important
than the correct proportion of weight to height.
Desirable weight for a mature male in good condition
is between 35 and 60 pounds. Desirable weight for a
mature female in good condition is between 30 and 50
pounds. Dogs over these weights are not to be
penalized unless they are disproportionately massive
or rangy.
Gait
The
American Pit Bull Terrier moves with a jaunty,
confident attitude, conveying the impression that he
expects any minute to see something new and
exciting. When trotting, the gait is effortless,
smooth, powerful, and well coordinated, showing good
reach in front and drive behind. When moving, the
backline remains level with only a slight flexing to
indicate suppleness. Viewed from any position, legs
turn neither in nor out, nor do feet cross or
interfere with each other. As speed increases, feet
tend to converge toward center line of balance.
Faults:
Legs not moving on the same plane; legs over
reaching; legs crossing over in front or rear; rear
legs moving too close or touching; rolling; pacing;
paddling; sidewinding; hackney action; pounding.
Disqualifications
Unilateral or bilateral cryptorchid. Viciousness or
extreme shyness. Unilateral or bilateral deafness.
Bobbed tail. Albinism. Merle.
Note: Although some level of dog aggression is
characteristic of this breed, handlers will be
expected to comply with U.K.C. policy regarding dog
temperament at U.K.C. events.
